REFORMED, NOT REFORM.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
In notices of the university that is to be
located on College hill and of the mission
| am serving, reporters and others frequent
" call us the Reform church. Will you
please allow me TO inform those who don't
know that we are no modern reform body,
though we believe in irving to reform such
who need reformation. The Reformed
church dates from the 10Th century, and Is
therefore an original branch of Protestant
ism. Ii ought to be well known that those
who came out from the Roman Catholic
church in the time of the reformation,
divided into two parties on the
doctrine of the Lords supper. Those
led by Zwingle, Calvin and other
who thought as they did, finally organ
lied into what was known as the Reformed
Church of Switzerland. Germany, Hol-
land. France, England, etc. Those led by
Luther. Welan, Anon and others, were
called after their great leader Luther.
These two churches for the first century
of the reformation period, included nearly
of Professionalism. Afterwards. or nearly
century later, the Presbyterian churches
of England, Scotland etc, adopted their
present name A large part Of the Re
formation church still retained the name
Reformed, and do to this day. We there
fore claim to be the legitimate descendants
of the Reformed church Of the reforma-
ton of the 10Th century-not new sect or
party, either. of that day, but of the true
church of all time, simply reformed of the
errors aud heresies Of the middle ages.
Yours truly. j. W. LOVE,

MEADE CENTER, KANSAS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Meade Center is becoming most worthy
of her title as the Queen city Of the south
west by her rapid advancement, which is
owing partly to her position and mostly to
the energy and enterprise eff her citizens.
With bonds voted to the Rock Island and a
proposition pending from the Santa Fe,
which will surely carry we are sure OF
two railroads and hope to secure a third or
fourth or as many more as will come our
way. We are as fully alive to the impor-
lance and advantages of railways as is the
city under the shelter of the EAGLES wing.
and we will do as much proportionately 10
secure these benefits as will the best
town in Kansas.
Col. r. l.. Walker, of Wichita, the
Lion hearted Richard" has been with us
for day or two preparatory to his making
a trip west to- the Colorado line. The gal
liant colonel carried the bonds for his com
pany here by fine majority, although an
earnest but misguided attempt was made
to defeat them by some few. The man
who fights bona fidc railroad proposition
in Meade Center is not only fighting his
best interests, but is sealing his financial
and political doom.
Under the impetus given by the propcsi-
ton carried and the one now on deck

man who can weld saw or plane is at

The Hutchinson gentlemen who laid on

years and the larger portion of the money
they had was recovered They claimed,
however, that Seager had not kept faith
but had disappeared with nearly two-thirds
of the whole, or nearly 100000. Where
had he gone? Detectives searched the
earth, over, giving particular attention to
Germany, as he spoke the language fluent
ly, but so far as results were concerned the
man might have been swallowed up in the
sea.
Long afterwards the story of his escape
was told Making his way to the
Allegheny river Seager secured q
skif and by night fioated down the
stream to Pittsburgh, the money being
slowed in a delapidated looking carpet bag.
There he went on board coal fleet bound
for New Orleans as common hand and
from there across the gulf to Mexico That
country was then a paradise for refugees.
1t was about the time Of the execution of
Macmillan and the expulsion of the
French and was literally overrun by eX-
Confederate soldiers who had eXpatriotated
themselves
In two or three wears Sea er, who had
mastered the Spanish language, came to
Texas where he passed as Spaniard, a
role he could easily assume on account OF
his swarthy complexion. There he engaged
in the cattle business with a portion of his
illgotten gains and became one of the pion-
Ger cattle kings. He did not venture far
away from his ranches, however. for long
time but some eight years ago determined
to risk trip to Denver. There he was
recognized on the street, arrested and held
until an officer arrived from Pennsylvania.
But in the meantime the old seed Beming
hof had been garnered and their patri.no-
ny had been squandered by the children, on
" one of whom was living and there was
no money in the capture save such as Sea
ger might see fit to give up. 1t was ru-
mored in the inner circles at that time that
he effected compromise with the sole
surviving heir for nominal sum
and paid the officials literally. At all
events he has never been troubled but once
since, and that was in the same city, some
four years ago, when private detective
agency endeavored to shake him down,
but Intellectually.
Today Seager has cattle scattered from
British America to the Rio Grande, is said
to be the largest sheep owner in Montana
and Wyoming and his wealth can only be
estimated In person he is six feet, straight
as an Indian and as active. has coal black
hair and whiskers, now streaked with gray,
piercing black eyes and a skin that resem-
bles a piece of weather beaten parchment.
When here his most striking peculiaraliiy
in dress was heavy beaver cape, Topped
back so as to display the crimson lining,
and as he walked the streets during his two
or three days stay his appearance was gen
orally noted. Seager is probably the only
man living for whom reward Of quarter
of a million dollars was unsuccessfully of
fered or who got away with nearly half
million. Beside his achievement the en-
terprise Of the LeavenwOrth gang seems
very insignificant. THE GossIPER.

fHE PEERLESS PRINCES
WHY WONDERFUL WICHITA
WINS.
The Greatest City in the State OF Kan
sas, and the Future Commercial
City OF the West.

From the advance pages Of the holiday
edition being issued 10y the Wichita Nation
the EAGLE reproduced column or more OF
very important statistics on Wednesday
morning which were not only reliable,
having been collected with infinite pains,
bat which showed beyond any question
that Wichita is in all respects the greatest
CITY in Kansas The tables alluded 10
show that Wichita has III manufacturers,
little and big, employing 1888 people, the
paw rolls aggregating SIG, 735 per week, or
five hundred and seventy thousand dollars
paid out annually in Wichita to hands EN-
ployed by manufacturers.
Another table which we reproduced on
the same morning showed that there were
five hundred and three mercantile and
other establishments and offices in this city
employing 3,241 people on weekly, month
ly and yearly salaries, which salaries aggre-
gate for the year 1886, the sum of Sl,910,-
1890.
The Nation has compiled several other
tables of statistics which show with equal
clearness that Wichita is the greatest com
mercial city in Kansas. The bank clear
ings-and no other city has or can support
clearing house-for eleven months and a
half amount to SIS, $50, $500 The total
monetary transactions of no city in Kan
sas reached half the sum that these transac-
tions among Wichita banks show those of
this city to have been. The following
fable shows the monthly clearances:
